Evidently you missed the part where I said it was not the fault of white kids. I merely stated they provided a lucrative consumer base for it. Thats a fact. Don Lemon doesnt know what he is talking about. its not looked down as a "white thing" its looked down on as being stupid or square because everyone knows "you cant make no money working for someone else". What these kids have a problem with is being willing to wait for the results of hard work to end up with a better lifestyle.
Don Lemon knows EXACTLY what he's talking about! He's making the same points that Bill Cosby has made in the past about young urban black men. What you don't like about his comments is that he refuses to play the "victim game" that is so much a part of your schtick here. You're an Al Sharpton clone...nothing is ever the fault of blacks because "overt racism" is a hurdle that black teens can't over come. Therefore when they refuse to take entry level jobs and work their way up...you pat them on the head and tell them that it's OK because "society" owes them for what was done to their great great grandfathers. Then you wonder why blacks are struggling to narrow the gap in personal wealth? They say that one definition of insanity is when someone keeps doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different outcome. That's YOU, my friend!
Its not that I dont like what he said. I disagree with some of the things he said but totally agree on others. I just think he is wrong having lived it.

I've read that post 3 times now and I still don't know what you're trying to say here. Who are you speaking of when you say "he is wrong having lived it"...Don Lemon or yourself?
If you're making the point that Don Lemon hasn't lived as a black man in America then you've just added to your rapidly growing list of ridiculous things you've posted here. Lemon grew up in the South not only black but gay. I'd have to think that Lemon understands a little about discrimination.
And if you're talking about yourself...then explain WHY you think he's wrong, having lived it. Or is this another of your "it's just my opinion" things?
Dealing with being called the n word at the age of 5 by an white adult.
Dealing with the knowledge that I was not safe and my parents couldnt protect me
Pretending not to be smart.
Doing just enough to get by.
Not visualizing my future
Why would I lie about that?
If you haven't lied, why would you have a problem supporting your claim?
Because its not that serious of a deal for me to have kept track of it. You believing me or not is your issue not mine.

None of that is exclusive to any particular 'race.' Countless millions of kids of all 'races' have experienced that over the past "400 years."

What, once? When you were 5? That was the shackle you had to cast off? Really?

= you lied, and lack the character to now admit it.

What are you talking about when you say shackle? Thats your description not mine. I said I had to deal with it as a 5 year old and it coming from an adult before I had any knowledge of what slavery was. I know that it seems unimportant to you but you probably aren't well versed on child psychology and what something like that can do to a child. i didnt even know what the word was but I felt like someone had thrown a warm bucket of vomit on me. Once I had it explained to me and what happened during slavery it changed me for the worse.

Of course you want to say....

What I "want to say" is exactly what I did say. What I did say is true.
You asked if I had only been called the n word once? The answer is no. Its happened countless times until i got old enough and big enough to where no one wanted to deal with the consequences. I had a cop put a gun to my head at the age of 9 for no reason while liberally using the word to describe his hate for my race. He threatened to kill my family if I ever told anyone.

Since we have established that you are an admitted liar, it's a little hard to take your personal anecdotes with anything less than a boulder of salt. And since you 'led' with being called a name at the age of 5 as your example of personal experience with racism rather than the far more dramatic 'gun to the head' story, I have to call BS. Most people wouldn't even recall being called a bad name once at the age of 5, and they sure as hell wouldn't think of it first before 'coming up with' something like a gun to the head. Something tells me that if we keep going you will suddenly 'remember' the time when you were 13 and a hoard of 10,000 Klansmen chased you down a four-lane highway with pitchforks and torches. No one reasonable is denying that racism still perniciously persists, but your credibility is hovering right around zero.
Here I thought you really wanted an answer.

No its not true. .

Why did you even bother asking me then?!! .
